Well, at least he believes in family values...

From WalesOnLine:

Last week Mohammad Asghar, who represents South Wales East, became the first AM to switch parties since the National Assembly was set up.

At the press conference where he announced his defection, Mr Asghar said he had done so because he disagreed with Plaid’s aim of Welsh independence and because he loved the Royal Family

Okay, so far...

A PLAID Cymru AM who defected to the Conservatives has admitted he did so because he was told he could not employ his daughter as a press officer.

Oh dear, not exactly what Conservative HQ would be wanting to hear at this particuliar juncture I guess.
